Application filed October 19,1905. Serial No. 283,559-

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, IsAAc CARTER DILKs, a citizen of the United States,residing at Cavite, in the Phili pine Islands, have invented a new andusefu Bottle, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to bottles, and has for its object to rovide abottle which may be readily filled and closed and when so closed can beopened only by fracturing the neck.

A further object of the invention is to provide a bottle of the classwhich may be cheaply made and which embodies new and improved featuresof reliability and convenience.

A further object of the invention is to provide a bottle of the classthe neck of which is closed through an opening in the bottom of thebottle, which is filled by a suitable closure after the bottle isfilled.

With these and other objects in view the present invention consists inthe combination and arrangement of parts, as will be hereinafter fullydescribed, shown in the accompanying drawings, and particularly pointedout in the appended claims.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view of a bottleembodying this invention. Fig. 2 is a view in side elevation of theupper end of a bottle-neck, showing the fracturing-pin. Fig. 3 is adetail perspective view of the fracturing-pin. Fig. 4 is a detailperspective view of the implement used for mam ulating thefracturing-pin and removing t e stopper.

Like characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all thefigures of the drawmgs.

In its preferred embodiment the invention forming the subject-matter ofthis application comprises a bottle of any desired or approved generalform and represented conventionally at 10.

At the top the bottle is provided with a neck 20, closed at the top, asby the integral diaphragm 21, and having a lateral slot 22 extending aportion of the way round the neck; The diaphragm 21 is preferablyconsiderably thicker than the material of the bottle-neck and with theslot 22 directly beneath it. Below and abutting the diaphragm the neckis filled and closed by a stopper 24, which may also be of any ordinaryand approved material; but for convenience and cheapness cork is foundto be the most desirable.

Within the slot 22 is disposed a pin 25, substantially filling the slotand having a depending arm 26 within the neck and extending between thesto 7 per and the diaphragm. The pin 25 is provi ed with spaced openings27, and to rotatably move the pin to fracture the neck an implement 28is provided, having the lugs 29, adapted to engage within the o ening27, and the handle 30 for applying t e necessary force to fracture thebottleneck. The implement 28 is I also provided with a corkscrew 31 forengaging and drawing the stopper 24.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed is- 1. Abottle-neck provided with a stopper, means for preventing the withdrawalof the stopper, and a pin piercing the side of the neck and adapted tocause the fracture of the neck when manipulated.

2. A bottle-neck closed at the top and provided with a lateral slot, astopper in the neck, and an angular pin disposed in the slot and adaptedto fracture the top of the neck when manipulated.

3. A bottle-neck closed at the top and provided with a lateral slot, astopper disposed within the neck and with its u per end ad acent theslot, an angular'pin isposed in the slot and retained by the stopper and.adapted to fracture the neck when manipulated.

4. A bottle-neck closed at the top and pro vided with a lateral slot, astopper in the neck, a pin between the stopper and closed tplp andextending through the slot and a ap ted to fracture the neck whenmanipur lated.

5. A bottle-neck closed at the top and provided with a lateral slot, astopper in the neck, and a pin between the stopper and closed top andextending through the slot and with a depending portion engaging thestopper and preventing the withdrawal of the pin and adapted to fracturethe neck when manipulated.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto afiixedmy signature in the presence of two witnesses.
